On August 25, the 2023 Zhaoyin Pujiang Fintech Forum was officially held. Zhang Yu, senior vice president of Zhongke Yushu, was invited to deliver a keynote speech on "The Road to Building an Advanced Heterogeneous Computing Power Base in the Financial Industry" at the Asset Management Technology Sub-Forum. He shared with the guests the development trends of current computing systems and how to adopt them. Heterogeneous computing power builds an IT technology base to promote financial technology innovation.

In his speech, Zhang Yu mentioned that the financial industry has gradually moved towards a more real-time, smarter and more efficient development path. Building a heterogeneous computing power base based on CPU+GPU+DPU+FPGA has become the focus of competition in the development and reform of financial trading systems. , is also the cornerstone for building technical barriers to the industry and gaining core competitive advantages. Zhang Yu pointed out that heterogeneous computing power represented by DPU provides excellent performance guarantee for big data processing, enabling the financial industry to cope with growing data demands and complex computing tasks.
Zhang Yu particularly emphasized that "cloud computing" is the core technology for improving the overall efficiency of the current computing system. However, the two pain points of increased communication delay (millisecond level) and increased computing overhead (exponential increase) have become the two pain points of cloud native technology in many fields. The constraints of further landing. The strong real-time nature of financial services also requires the system to maintain efficient and real-time performance in the ever-changing market. Therefore, financial institutions need to make corresponding innovations in technology and architecture to ensure real-time communication and efficient computing.
DPU-based cloud native offloading can provide more flexible resource scheduling capabilities, making it feasible for cloud platforms to uniformly manage containers, virtual machines, and bare metal. Zhang Yu then gave an in-depth introduction to cloud-native DPU software and hardware integrated acceleration technology, ultra-high-performance AI computing network, ultra-high-performance storage technology, big data DPU heterogeneous computing and acceleration technology, DPU hardware-level security isolation, and data center resource pooling, etc. innovation in aspects. The integration of these technologies enables financial institutions to better handle tasks such as high-frequency trading, big data analysis and artificial intelligence computing, and achieve low-latency and high-throughput cloud-native computing power base.
Finally, Zhang Yu proposed the concept of "IaaS on DPU" and regarded the efficiency improvement of cloud computing as the next generation upgrade goal. This concept aims to build Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) through DPU on the existing cloud native basis, further strengthening the capabilities of data processing and resource utilization, thereby improving the efficiency of cloud computing and providing innovation and development in the field of financial technology. Provide stronger support.
